The Indian education sector is among the largest sunrise sectors, contributing significantly to the country’s economic and social growth. The system, considered one of the largest in the world, is divided into core and non-core segments. The core includes schools and higher education, while non-core comprises pre-schools, vocational training, and coaching classes. The sector is evolving, driven by niche segments such as vocational training, finishing schools, child-skill enhancement, and e-learning. India presents a strong investment potential in training and education, supported by favourable demographics (young population) and a services-driven economy.
The education and training sector has witnessed significant investments and developments recently. The higher education system consists of about 1,100 universities and over 43,000 colleges, with over 85% of students enrolled in bachelor’s programs and one-sixth pursuing Engineering/Technology degrees. To achieve 30% higher education enrolment by 2026, India will require 800 more universities and an additional 40,000 colleges, according to the Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD).
According to Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) rankings, 27 Indian universities are among the top 300 in Asia, and the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIM-A) ranks fourth globally among 20 leading B-schools, per the Economist.
CSR and philanthropy initiatives allocate ~90% of resources to education, complementing core business and creating secondary opportunities in learning and training.
